Chapter 139: Falling to the Bottom of the Show
The master was annoyed, and with a wave of his hands, he grabbed the nine-ring ghost head dagger and ran towards it, slashing down at the top of Gu Shengchao's head.
The nine-ring ghost head big knife was powerful and heavy, and the sword qi had already arrived in mid-air, and a few strands of Gu Shengchao's long hair that had fluttered up suddenly broke off, and there was a faint pain in his skin.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Shengchao dodged sideways, and the ghost-headed broadsword slashed against his body, cutting a deep groove on the ground, and the dust was flying.
Just a simple slash, it shows that the person's internal strength is deep and should not be underestimated.
Gu Shengchao took advantage of the fact that he didn't have time to change his moves, and his chest was defenseless, and a sword stabbed him under the armpit.
The man's big sword had already fallen, and the ancient saint's super long sword stabbed him without time to raise his sword to parry, so he had to roll to the side in a hurry.
How domineering it was at the beginning, but now it is doubly embarrassing.
Tumbling over, the man took advantage of the situation to pick up the big knife to prevent Gu Shengchao from chasing and sneaking attack, but found that with this move, Gu Shengchao had already pounced on the person wearing the jewel necklace.
Gu Shengchao moved like a rabbit, and the person wearing the jewel necklace on his neck was stunned, Gu Shengchao had already approached, and he was so frightened that the man ran away.
In a panic, he actually fled towards Shui Linglong and them.
Gu Shengchao slowed down, first, to block the Tianqing Gang behind, and secondly, to see how the person who escaped was captured.
Looking at his clumsy running appearance, his steps are heavy and he has no internal strength at all, but he can give orders in this group of people, which is really incomprehensible.
Shui Linglong, Zhuang Lutao, Wan Yanxi, any one of them can easily take him down, just like picking up something.
Everyone sensed his vulnerability, and no one took him to heart.
When they were near, the man took off his necklace, detached one of the orbs and threw it away.
"Bang!"
The orb exploded unexpectedly, raising a thick white smoke in the sky, and the smoke and dust quickly spread, enveloping all the people including Gu Shengchao.
Gu Shengchao sensed every breath, except for him and the person who released the orb, everyone in the smoke stood still, and the breath became weak.
"Plop, plop ......"
One after another, people fell.
Not good, the smoke is toxic.
Fortunately, Gu Shengchao has a body that is invulnerable to all poisons, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, he chased after that person first.
The bell must also be tied to the bell, since the person is not poisoned, there must be an antidote on his body.
Following that aura, Gu Shengchao came behind him in a few steps, and easily picked him up like an eagle catching a chicken, and the meridian reversal sealed his acupoint.
This person can't figure it out, but he still responds carefully.
There was a sound of broken footsteps in the thick smoke, and Gu Shengchao sensed that many people rushed in and went straight to Shui Linglong and them.
There is danger!
Speaking of that person, Gu Shengchao leaned over to Shui Linglong's location.
Unable to see anything in the thick smoke, he felt a sword aura attacking beside him, and Gu Shengchao had no choice but to leave the person in his hand.
He could sense everyone's breath, but he couldn't distinguish the other party's form, for the sake of safety, he hurriedly protected his body with an iron arm, and a faint layer of silver armor condensed on the surface of his skin.
The Iron Arm Divine Skill can ensure that he is safe and sound, but his perception is blocked, and the exact location of each person is unknown.
Caring about not so much, being able to protect one counts as one, he stood beside Shui Linglong, no matter what blade attacked, just grab his fists and feet and beat the other party down.
The smoke thinned out, and the outline could barely be seen five paces away.
A gust of wind blew, and the smoke quickly dissipated, and it came and went in a hurry.
Gu Shengchao was not afraid of the sneak attack of others, so he collected the iron arm magic skill and looked for a familiar face.
Shui Linglong lay at his feet and fell asleep, and the guy who released the smoke was also motionless, and all the clansmen brought by Zhuang Lutao were there, except for him and Wan Yanxi.
More than a dozen corpses fell on the ground, which should have been killed by mistake in the dense fog just now.
"Brother Zhuang, Sister Wanyan." Gu Shengchao shouted loudly, but no one answered.
Even the many disciples of the Tianqing Gang who had gathered just now disappeared without a trace.
After inspecting several corpses, Gu Shengchao wanted to find clues from them, but accidentally found that several people were not killed by himself. Most of the necks of these people were cut off with sharp blades similar to scimitars.
"Could it be Wan Yanxi?" Only the scimitar in her hand could do that kind of damage.
Gu Shengchao was pleasantly surprised, if that was the case, it would prove that Wan Yanxi was not harmed by the poisonous mist.
But where did she end up when she was blind?
Looking around, there was no one else to be seen.
Even if Wan Yanxi is very smart, Gu Shengchao is also frightened, lest he will lose himself and not be able to find it back like in the capital.
However, the most urgent thing at the moment is to let Shui Linglong and the others wake up from their coma as soon as possible, the strong enemy is still in the shadows, and there can be no negligence.
Gu Shengchao came to the guy who cast the poisonous smoke, squatted down to relieve some of his acupuncture points, took out the dagger and pressed it against his throat, and threatened: "Hand over the antidote." ”
The man didn't seem to be able to hear the sound, staring at Gu Shengchao at a loss, "squeak" didn't know what to say.
"It turned out to be a mute." Gu Shengchao was a little lost, he didn't know how to speak, and there was an obstacle in communication between the two.
got up and walked around Shui Linglong and everyone anxiously twice, seeing their unconscious appearance, Gu Shengchao was even more upset, it would be good if Yan Xi was here, although she was the youngest, she had many ideas, and she was a powerful helper.
He suddenly remembered that Wan Yanxi had mentioned that in her perception, it was this seemingly weak person who was giving orders, and he was the mastermind of this group.
Gu Shengchao suddenly realized that he had been deceived.
He hurried to the man's side, pointed his finger at the acupoint in his Ren vein, and the true qi ran through his fragile meridians, making him feel pain and cold sweat.
"Don't pretend, to be honest, it can reduce some pain." Gu Shengchao said bluntly.
The man didn't know how Gu Shengchao knew, and he couldn't hide it until now, so he stubbornly said, "You kill me, otherwise I won't say it." ”
Gu Shengchao forcibly ravaged his second vein, although that person was worse than death, his body began to tremble involuntarily, and he gritted his teeth and insisted on not recruiting.
Although the man's body was weak and his bones were hard, Gu Shengchao no longer used torture, and found two porcelain bottles from him, one red and one white. When he called the lid, there was a different color of powder in it, and he knew that he wouldn't tell him if he asked, so Gu Shengchao simply put away the porcelain vase and made another plan.
At this time, it was early winter, most of the leaves on the trees on the roadside had withered, and the birds had also flown south without a trace.
He looked around and stumbled upon a snake writhing in the fallen leaves under a tall tree, seemingly unable to find a suitable place to hibernate.
Overjoyed, Gu Shengchao rushed over and pinched the snake's head with an arrow, no matter how much it struggled, it was in vain.
On closer inspection, the snake was only a foot long, with a triangular head and two curved, sharp teeth on the upper part of its open mouth. I can't tell what kind of breed it is, but it's definitely poisonous.
Gu Shengchao came to the man's side, and slowly used his internal force to wrap the poisonous snake in a thin layer of Xuan Qi in front of him, and then slapped it into his body.
The man's frightened face was like earth, and he was even more frightened because the acupuncture points were sealed and he couldn't move.
Anyway, he had already been hit by Gu, so simply, Gu Shengchao unlocked all his acupuncture points.
The man hurriedly jumped up, afraid that he would try to drive the poisonous snake away by beating his clothes.
Gu Shengchao sneered: "That's useless, I've already planted a snake Gu for you, if you can't remove the poisonous snake within half a year, it will wake up and gnaw in your body, and you should understand what the consequences will be in the end." ”
After a moment of panic, the man quickly calmed down, sat down in front of Gu Shengchao honestly, and said calmly: "What do you want to know, I can tell you." ”
This calmness of honor and disgrace made Gu Shengchao admire, and he took out two porcelain bottles, one red and one white, in his arms: "How to use the antidote?" ”
"When the two powders are mixed together in equal amounts, they will volatilize the smell and wake up when they smell it."
The man saw that Gu Shengchao had uncorked the bottle and was about to pour it out, and reminded, "Just mix a small amount in the palm of your hand." ”
Gu Shengchao carefully poured out a small amount and let the two powders mix.
In an instant, a faint white smoke came out of the mixed powder.
He hurried under Shui Linglong's nose, saw her move and sneezed, and then sniffed the rest of the people one by one.
Several people sneezed and slowly woke up.
Gu Shengchao looked at the two porcelain bottles in his hand, thought about it, and buttoned the corks and put them in his arms.
Shui Linglong wanted to stand up, but she was weak and almost fell, Gu Shengchao hurriedly helped her to sit aside and rest.
The man explained: "I took the medicine and waited for a moment to relieve, but now I just need to recuperate." ”
Gu Shengchao saw that he didn't look like he was lying, and he didn't have any other symptoms when he observed Shui Linglong, so he was relieved.
He sat down in front of the man and said, "What's your name?" ”
"My name is Zhou Hualiang, a talent who has fallen behind." There was a faint hint of unwillingness and resentment under his peaceful expression.
Gu Shengchao then asked, "Your status in the Tianqing Gang is not low, right?" What are the positions in the Tianqing Gang? ”
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Hualiang said truthfully: "My position in the gang is a military advisor, and the gang leader is the largest, but we have never seen his true face, and then the Taibao, below is the son, and then below is the general, and there are many captains under the general, and my military advisor is to assist the son." ”
Gu Shengchao smiled: "Your Tianqing Gang is a bit interesting, and the arrangement of positions is similar to that in the imperial court." ”
Zhou Hualiang nodded and admitted: "The helper promises that as long as we are done, we are all founding fathers, and the corresponding positions must be planned in advance, so that it is too late to save time." ”
"Do you believe it?" With such an inferior deception, Gu Shengchao believed that Zhou Hualiang should be suspicious.
To his surprise, Zhou Hualiang nodded firmly: "I believe it." ”
"What?" Gu Shengchao suspected that there was something wrong with his ears and did not hear clearly.
Zhou Hualiang repeated it and said loudly: "I believe in the promise of the helper. ”
"Why? With your knowledge, can't you see the strange in it? Gu Shengchao reminded him.
Zhou Hualiang sighed, shook his head and asked, "I'm a fallen talent, is there any other way out?" ”
